参考范文：
The table gives a breakdown of the proportions of people aged under 18 and those aged over 60 in California, Utah and Florida, as well as their average income and population who are very poor.
It is clear that Florida has more elderly people than California and Utah, and people in Florida and California boasted higher income despite having a larger percentage of them living in poverty.
Utah has the largest percentage of young people aged under 18(28%), followed by California (17%) and Florida(16%). As to people who are aged 60+, Florida, with the lowest percentage of people aged under 18, however, resides the highest number(23%), while the figure for Utah is the lowest, which is about one-third of that in Florida.
Although residents in California have the highest average income per person among the three($23,00), 16% of Californian people are poor. Interestingly, only 9% of people in Utah are likely to be poor, but the average income in this state is only $ 17,000.
Task 2
作文题目：The best way for government to solve the traffic congestion is to provide free public transport 24 hours a day, 7days a week. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
题材类别：政府类
相关旧题：
1. C8T3: Increasing the price of petrol is the best way to solve growing traffic and pollution problems.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
What other measures do you think might be effective?
2. Some people think strict punishment for driving offenders is the only effective way to improve safety on the roads. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
写作思路：这篇议论文比较简单，只是讨论一下交通拥堵的解决办法。但是，考生们要注意审题，出现the best, the only这些字眼的，在逻辑上通常是不能完全肯定的。另外，反对the best way的时候，最好给出其它的有效的解决办法。
写作指导：
Introduction：仅靠提供全天免费的公交系统不够，还需要其它的措施。
Body 1: 这个方法的好处：吸引更多乘客，减少私家车数量。
Body 2: 坏处：公交系统服务质量不高，政府浪费大量财力，增加人民税收负担。
Body 3: 其它解决办法。
Conclusion:重申观点
参考范文：
The solutions to the pressing issue of traffic congestions, especially in metropolis, have been a frequent topic of discussion. However, 24/7 free public transport service would not tackle this issue; therefore, other effective measures would be in great need.
Theoretically, providing 24/7 free public transport, like underground and bus, could produce some positive outcomes, among which stands out convenience. This means that commuters could travel by any mode of public transport at any time. Moreover, it is free of charge, which might slightly ease the financial burden on the poor or people of middle class. Certainly, this would attract more public transport users,so the number of private cars may be reduced considerably.
However, this approach would exert more negative outcomes if it is carried out. One main disadvantage is the low-quality public service. By making it free of charge, public transport service would, of course, degrade to a certain degree, since the vehicle will be crowded and even suffocating.. Another problem is that few people would use public transport at late night or in the very early morning; this would be a great waste in terms of public funds. Undoubtedly, people’s financial burden would be heavier.
To solve traffic gridlock, we need to implement reasonable city road plan. It is true that some traffic jam is caused by inappropriate city road plan and construction. Thanks to high technology, it is also possible to install CCTV to make traffic forecast to drivers. Other strategies could exert significant effects, too, such as controlling and improving signal timing and restricting peak-hour curbside park.
In conclusion, 24/7 free public transport would not be an effective measure to resolve traffic congestion in the long term; hence other strategies need to be implemented at the same time.
